Thomas Betts 54852BE Rectangle Ring Terminal 6 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54852BE is a non-insulated rectangle ring terminal designed for compression-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. Built with a copper contact body and a titanium nitride (TiN) plating, this terminal provides a reliable, low-resistance connection for 6 AWG conductors. It measures 2.28 inches in overall length and 0.44 inches in ring width, sized to fit a 1/4-inch stud. The compression connection method requires a proper crimping tool to achieve a secure mechanical and electrical bond. This terminal is RoHS compliant and suited for use by licensed electricians and panel builders working on control wiring, power distribution, and equipment grounding tasks.

This ring terminal is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where a non-insulated compression lug is required. Common applications include connecting 6 AWG wire runs to bus bars, terminal blocks, ground lugs, and equipment studs. The 1/4-inch stud hole accommodates standard fastener sizes found in panel boards, motor controls, and electrical enclosures. Electricians and MRO technicians will find this terminal appropriate for both new installation and repair work where a compact, flat-profile lug is needed.

Key Features

• Non-insulated design allows visual inspection of the conductor after crimping
• Compression connection requires a matching crimping tool for a gas-tight termination
• Copper contact material provides excellent electrical conductivity
• Titanium nitride (TiN) contact plating improves corrosion resistance and durability
• Fits 1/4-inch stud hardware standard in most panel boards and enclosures
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression ring terminal for 6 AWG wire applications requiring a non-insulated, rectangle-profile lug with a 1/4-inch stud opening.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before installing or removing any terminal connection. Use a calibrated compression crimping tool rated for the terminal size and wire gauge to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not over-strip the conductor or attempt to re-crimp a previously compressed terminal.
